Disclaimer: How could I possibly have the imagination to make a series like this?
AN: *blink* I have six readers? When did this happen? Have people been reading without reviewing?? And I even accept anonymous reviews... Feh! *grin* but thanks for reviewing. And FYI, I wasn't going to give up, just delay it until I got some stories, I tend to have more ideas for the story that gets more reviews. Also sorry about that little note, I was beginning to worry about my trail of ideas for here, and wanted to know about a few things. And none of you had any help for me to munch on!! Just kidding, my mocha's kicking in.
Anyways, the final conclusion! This is the last chapter of MTMTE. The action's all gone and everything is settling down. All the last details are going to be covered here, and the end has finally drawn. But, There will be an epilogue! Don't hurt me for the chapter though... you're probably not going to like how I planned this out.
Oh boy, I really need to work on my beginning and ends.
More Than Meets The Eye
Chapter 14
"Attention students, all meet in the auditorium for an assembly." The kids all looked up and followed their teachers out into the hall.
That was two hours ago.
"I can't believe they're shutting down the school!" Students whispered harshly to one another as they filed out of the large room.
The five boys were walking out when Heero was abruptly pulled aside. By Sylvia, whom was all over him by the time the other four turned around to check on him. Duo nearly fell over.
"Oh Heero, can you believe it? They're spreading us all over town! I won't get to see you anymore my little Heero." she made a puppy face that nearly made them all wretch.
"Hn." Heero tried desperately to get the clinging girl off his arm, no such luck though, she had a grip like a vice. But Relena walked out about that time, and pulled him away without giving Silvia a glance, being preoccupied as she was.
"I need to talk to you." She hadn't even noticed that the other blonde was standing by the door, dumbfounded. "It's about Meiran." Heero turned all his attention on her. "Have you heard anything? She's not talking at all."
"No. There's nothing I can think of."
Relena looked distractedly at the door. "Okay then, I'll drop by the old elementary today and see if Mae knows anything." She quickly pecked at his cheek and left.
Heero turned over to the other guys to ask them about Meiran. Wufei was the only one with any information, and it was that Meiran had moved into Preventors HQ.
*~*~*~*~*
"Hilde!" Duo followed after the dark head of hair bobbing slightly above the others. "Hilde!" The head stopped, but disappeared into the crowd as well. Duo finally caught up to the girl then, after bursting through the throng of people, and nearly running into her. "Jeez, I think I'd have better luck trying to get around during the running of the bulls." Hilde smiled weakly and they both began to walk.
"So, which school you got?" He asked.
"Richward." He brightened.
"Me too! But none of the guys have it." Hilde looked up at him and stated that none of the girls would be there either. "So... it'll be us alone?"
Hilde glanced at him. "Hentai."
Grinning, he played with her bangs for a bit. "Just stating. But, there's something else I wanted to know about too." His grin disappeared and Hilde looked at him curiously. "What's the situation with Meiran?"
"She came to school today, but never said anything. And she never tried to annoy Wufei today neither. I heard she moved out of her house, but as far as I know, she didn't bring Mae, so we're getting a bit worried. She's so protective of her sister." She frowned as she thought for a moment.
"Um... let's just get outta here, okay?" Duo was pressed against the wall when someone was pushed and ran into him.
Hilde grinned. "Sure."
*~*~*~*~*
"Meiran." Wufei sat on the branch across from her. "What's wrong? You've been acting a bit weird."
The girl in question bit her lip, and looked away. Wufei, though, used his index and middle finger to turn her head towards him. Her eyes began to water and tears slently slipped down her face.
Wufei swung over to her branch and sat himself beside her. Wiping some tears away, Meiran turned her head again to look at him.
"She's gone. Mae's gone." Buryng her face in his shirt, she began to sob quietly and repeated the words over and over. "She's gone. Gone. She's gone." Knowing what she was saying, Wufei held her, fearing for her sanity.
*~*~*~*~*
"I'm worried." Dorothy sat beside Quatre on the ridge around the parking lot.
"About Meiran?" He offered, but was surprised when she shook her head no.
"Well, not entirely." She admitted. He had been able to get so much out of her now that he had gained her trust. "I'm worried about the whole seperation thing. All the girls are in different schools, and the guys are with their girlfriends, you know?"
Quatre nodded. Indeed, Heero and Relena had been assigned the same school, and so did Duo and Hilde, Trowa and Midii, Wufei and Meiran (Though they weren't a couple), and Dorothy and himself. Though Trowa and him were in the same school too. "So why are you worried about that?"
"Because, all of our lives, Relena, Meiran, Midii, Hilde and I have been friends because we needed eachother to be understanding. But, now that we've met you, I'm worried that we won't need eachother anymore. Our personalities are so different. I think the only thing holding us together is our interdependence." Quatre stroked her back affectionately.
"But no matter what, I'm sure no one will forget the others. Even the guys and I are like that, but I know that I'd never forget any of them if we do get split up, it's just the kind of companionship that lasts."
Dorothy sat thinking a little bit. "I suppose you're right, but I wish it wasn't like that."
"We'll make it through."
*~*~*~*~*
Midii and Trowa stood outside the school grounds, watching as old friends held eachother and murmuring goodbyes.
"I guess we'll be seeing a lot more of eachother, right?" Trowa, without looking at her, smiled and nodded. "They're acting as if they're going out for war."
"Some may not see their friends after this. It depends on what their lives are like."
"Like us?" There was no use hiding it. All of them were going to be seperated, and there seemed to be no reason or chance for them to see their friends. The groups were splitting up, though Midii would see Dorothy enough, and Trowa would see Quatre too. But besides that, it seemed like the group would be a memory from now on.
"Is this how all lives begin anew?" Midii reached for his warth and comfort.
"I really don't know." He held her hand as they stood there, watching everyone pack up.
*~*~*~*~*
"Well, Relena?" Heero stood at the front door as his girlfriend walked out of the doors.
"She's gone." Her eyes looked blank, which scared him a little.
"Gone?"
"Dead." Heero's eyes widened. Why hadn't Meiran told her friends? What was happening to their friendship? "We have to go back."
He nodded and led her to his car. She followed hesitantly, and Heero had to help her get into it, in case she fell. (AN: I was going to write "falled" there)
*~*~*~*~*
Eight people approached the Elm tree that Meiran frequented when she was thinking, or needed time by herself. They now all knew what was wrong with their friend, and had every intention of trying to comfort her.
"Actually, guys, I think she'll be okay." Hilde, who was at the trunk, whispered to the others. Pointing up, she watched as the others tilted their heads up to see two people embracing.
"Yeah, now let's go before Wufei kills us." Duo squinted to make out the small ponytail. The others agreed, and walked off without a word, though each was wishing their friends a great life, for they all knew that there was no chance that they would be getting together again after highschool.
*~Owari~*
So that's More Than Meets the Eye everyone! I hope you liked the story!! I'd hate to make you wait for more but... there's an epilogue coming! This was a short last chapter but I'm no good at beginning or ends. Well, at least it was better than the original... *grin* again, sorry for the scare, but I don't think I would've known I had more than three reviewers if I hadn't put that up!! *glares at some reviewers before grinning again.* See you at the epilogue!!
AN: *blink* I have six readers? When did this happen? Have people been reading without reviewing?? And I even accept anonymous reviews... Feh! *grin* but thanks for reviewing. And FYI, I wasn't going to give up, just delay it until I got some stories, I tend to have more ideas for the story that gets more reviews. Also sorry about that little note, I was beginning to worry about my trail of ideas for here, and wanted to know about a few things. And none of you had any help for me to munch on!!
